Coach Maida's Thoughts
"The guys are getting really close to where we need to be as a team. We still have a few things to clean up, some untimely misses are holding us back from getting to where we know we can be and winning some tournaments. Overall, I'm really proud of all the guys this weekend and looking forward to putting in the work and continuously getting better. 

Coach Poston's Thoughts
"We are starting to be a little more consistent. We still have some areas to clean up. This break (Morningside in December) will allow us to continue doing so. We will be even more consistent next time out."

Ottawa returns to the lanes on December 2-3 at the Morningside Open in Sioux City, Iowa.
